Can't lie, Amber Whelp is a better Scalerider because it IS a dragon and has the same effect and stats. Same with Amalgam of the Deep and Netherspite Historian. It just synergizes better with the other cards due to it's tribe. Loving the deck! Super fun :)
I substituted Grave Digging for Handmaiden. You should try it out! It works with the Naga package and is pretty consistent. I like the deck a lot, nice work!
I appreciate your interest on what the community thinks about diamond cards. I think interacting with the player base like this is a good idea and reinforces opposition to the popular belief that you guys don't actually care about our experience in-game.
As mentioned by people in this thread before me, I think the concept is strong, but the representation of that concept is rather lacking. There's nothing that makes owning a diamond card feel really special or fulfilling.
Something that golden legendary cards bring to the table is that the art becomes animated and takes an already spectacular art style and gives it the extra sha-bang! On top of this, they have the ability to be disenchanted if you don't want them.
The problem is that diamond cards do literally the exact same thing. The art becomes animated outside of the frame and you add the diamond studs to the dragon border. A diamond copy just seems like the golden copy with extra steps.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure I have the best solution to preventing the diamond copy from feeling empty. I think finding a way to craft them would make that problem go away though. I have a ton of achievement points stacked up that could be put to good use if I could use them to upgrade my favorite legendary to diamond status. It would inspire players to complete more achievements and give a purpose to a seemingly useless feature to the game. Other than that, my only other idea would be making the diamond or gold cards given free by Blizzard the ability to be disenchantable. Bru'Kan didn't end up being used as often as I thought he would, so I don't need his diamond version, the regular would suit my burn shaman deck just fine since I don't play it that often. Being able to pick and choose the legendary you want to be diamond would also make it feel more special.

Are you kidding me? Tri spell freeze shaman is the deck I hit legend with this season. It matches up insanely good into everything almost. Mech mage, mech Paladin, pirate warrior, Druid all flood the board that you can just freeze over and over.
And it runs a lot of early came control as well. Noooooo idea what you’re talking about, unless you misspelled priest.
Ayo what's your deck list? I have been looking for a strong deck to try out
I am curious if Loot Hoarder would work better than Shadowed Spirit. I guess it depends if you want more card draw or want insane aggro damage on your opponent's face.
I broke my TV as a kid and vowed to never break anything gaming related ever again. I don't have a huge problem with raging anymore but it's never worth a broken controller/keyboard/etc
Perhaps it could have something to do with easter eggs in vanilla hearthstone? To tie it back to classic's release? I found a page online that has a list of them and a large few are in the Barrens. One specifically caught my eye talking about a poison rogue quest in the game that I figured could be related to poison rogue barrens set cards. http://www.blizzardguides.com/wow_cool_easter_eggs.html

Very true. If I end up with all of the necessary cards once the expansion drops, I will for sure use this list.

I would like to know as well. Does anybody know if there's been any new achievements or something that could lead to obtaining this card back?
